‘curl: not found’ error installing AhsayOBM via CLI on Linux/FreeBSD

June 3, 2025

Product Version

AhsayOBM: 7.5.0.0 to 7.17.x

Operating System

Linux/FreeBSD

Symptom

When performing an AhsayOBM installation on Linux/FreeBSD CLI using the script installer following error is shown:

# sh obm-nix-443-10.3.1.8-https.sh Log Time: Fri Jan 20 19:38:56 HKT 2017 Downloading package app-common.tar.gz... obm-nix-443-10.3.1.8-https.sh: curl: not found File does not exist Failed to download component files. Error in downloading files, installer will terminate

Cause

The ‘curl’ software package is not installed on the Linux/FreeBSD machine. As the AhsayOBM v7 installation script on Linux/FreeBSD requires the ‘curl’ package to download the software components from the AhsayCBS server.

Other dependencies include 'tar' package and 'rpm' package (for AhsayOBM rpm installation on Linux)

Resolution

Install the ‘curl’ package on the Linux/FreeBSD machine and run the AhsayOBM installation script again.
